New Delhi. In the year 2001, the political-drama film ‘Nayak’ was released, in which Anil Kapoor was praised for his acting. This film was directed by the famous South director Shankar. But very few people would know that Anil Kapoor was not the first choice of the makers for this film, but it was some other superstar who had also signed the film, but later something happened that he distanced himself from the project.
The makers’ first choice for ‘Nayak’ was none other than Shah Rukh Khan. He himself revealed that the film was offered to him and he had also agreed. During an interview with Rediff, Shah Rukh Khan told that he had signed ‘Nayak’. He had taken only Rs 1 as signing amount. He had also told Shankar that he would give him his dates for the film.
